Jessica Smith from “Laguna Beach” Receives DUI Sentencing

Saturday, July 7th, 2007

jessica_smith.jpg

Jessica Smith, whom you know from “Laguna Beach”–and whom you also might know from her car crash on the San Diego Freeway—pled guilty to drunk driving charges today. Though she didn’t actually make an appearance in the courtroom, her lawyer was there to hear her punishment: Jessica got slammed with 3 years probation, 80 hours of community service, and a $1,300 fine.

Those California TV bombshells can’t seem to get behind the wheel sober! First you have Paris, then Nicole, then Lindsay, and now finally our own dear Jessica Smith. Luckily for Jessica, that pesky fine shouldn’t be much of a hindrance for a Laguna Beach girl. The community service, on the other hand, might be an obstacle.


Inferno 3 Wrap-Up

Friday, July 6th, 2007

Hey, everyone! My name’s David and I’m thrilled to be your new blogger at WatchingMTV.com. I’ll be sure to keep you updated with all the new MTV news and gossip, so check back frequently! Alright, let’s get to it:

TJ_lavin.jpg

Sadly, this week marked the finale of “The Inferno 3.” Though the teams have been neck-and-neck throughout most of the competition, The Bad Asses pulled through to defeat The Good Guys in the last mission. (Each Bad Ass won $40K, not bad for a fledgling MTV prize).

But, true to MTV form, the drama was largely non-competition related. First, we had The Good Guys complaining that Cara had sabotaged missions in order to help her best friend Suzie. By throwing missions, Cara ensured that Suzie would win the “life shield,” guaranteeing them both immunity. I can totally see the team’s point on this one: if Cara was not trying her hardest to win missions then she was, in a way, deliberately helping the opposite team. With the missions growing more demanding with each episode, the team needs every one of its members’ full effort. This obviously came back to haunt the team as they watched their enemies, The Bad Asses, take home the grand prize.

Other side drama included Johnny running his mouth at every other competitor’s apparent weakness. Unfortunately for him, he found himself on the losing team, so he quickly realized he had no room to talk.

This challenge was one of the shortest with only 15 episodes. Luckily, two new shows are already in production: “The Real World: Sydney” and “The Gauntlet 3,” so you’re sure to get your catty MTV fix in just a few short weeks. Until then, make sure to keep watching “The Real World: Reunited”—the cast has finally settled in and things are bound to heat up.

Drama in the H-I-L-L-S

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

hills_blog_1.jpg I should just turn my blog into a Hills gossip free for all, right? The third season of The Hills is set for this August (and I seriously can’t wait because I’m a giant loser) and according to US magazine Heidi is really desperate for some air time…so desperate she’s busting in on shoots with Lauren Conrad. Lauren was seen flailing her arms and yelling “you’re pathetic…” which is true, but I could think of 100 better insults than that.

Heidi’s “people” say this is not true however, she simply has no time to bust in on Lauren’s shoots because she’s busy recording an album. Jesus, give a girl a few minutes of fame, and implants, and she suddenly becomes a musical prodigy. At the MTV movie awards I thought she looked…like a forty year old. Agree?

If you didn’t get a chance to vote for all the crappy movies nominated for golden popcorns for the MTV movie awards, that’s okay! You can still vote HERE for stuff like, Best Throwback do (Paris Hilton, or Amy gross Whinehouse?) OR Best Male Bedhead. Won’t that be amazing!

Now you can watch it over and over. Paris allegedly called Sara a “fucking bitch..” I wonder if that’s before or after she went to jail that night? Oh to be famous.

Unplugged

Tuesday, June 5th, 2007

Sometimes [very rarely] MTV doesn’t blow. Sometimes they come out with shows that are amazing, shows like Unplugged that are 100% worth watching…MTV’s Unplugged was a popular show from the 90’s that showcased musicians playing only with acoustic instruments. I adore anything acoustic, and I’m happy to say they are bringing this show back!

This summer MTV is bringing Unplugged back with big performers like the Police, and Bon Jovi, who will be kicking the show off June 22nd on MTV. police-the_1.jpg I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty ecstatic to see The Police play, even if it’s on TV [where I can sit in the comfort of my own home, in central air, eating ice cream] they are going to be doing the show sometime in July, and I will keep you guys posted on an exact date.

True Life: I didn’t watch the MTV awards

Monday, June 4th, 2007

I have a confessional to make…it is my duty to write about “watching MTV” and MTV gossip but last night I tuned into about 14 minutes of the MTV movie awards and I had to turn them off. Why? Because Sara Silverman isn’t funny, in fact I find her to be slightly retarded and awkward…even her body is awkward 74387673_kw.jpg and I couldn’t imagine looking at her for more than the 14 minutes I gave the show, or listening to her attempts at being funny. Next, the actual nominees for movies…Blades of Glory? Now, I know I know the movie didn’t win an award but the fact that it was nominated for several categories makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little.

If you missed them, here are the winners, however:

Pirates killed it. While eating my Product 19 this morning I went back and watched the last few minutes and did see Johnny Deep looking like a throw-back to the 90’s. A damn sexy one!

Sorry for the un-gossip about the awards. Maybe as it comes to me, I will write about it…

Guns

Sunday, June 3rd, 2007

So I was looking at my most searched for terms and it seems a bunch of you are kinda’ obsessed with Rob Dyrdek’s gun tee shirts rogue_status-gun_1.jpg and so I’m just doing a friendly little post that you can waste $40 on one here and they are made by Rouge Status Neat huh? They even have hoodies guys…for $200… I would spend that much if the hoodies had kittens on them, maybe.

Cat fight!

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

As many of you know and probably have marked on your calenders (losers) the MTV movie awards are this Sunday. The show is going to be filled with super stars, and Sara Silverman is going to be your host…but MTV is worried! Oh no! They are working overtime to make sure Jessica Biel and Cameron Diaz don’t beat each other up during the award show, which are live this year. cameron_diaz_03.jpg They are going to arrive at separate times, and I’m sure Justin will show up with Jessica Biel (gag) on his arm but who will Cameron show up with? She’s looking haggard lately, perhaps no one. Last time she saw the two together she threw a mini-celeb tantrum so I’m eager to see what happens at the show. I hope the claws come out…

Heidi Montag

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

So, according to SPENCER , Heidi rhinoplasty Montag and her new boobs have been offered 1 million big ones to pose in Playboy…they are “interested” in her body. Uh huh, but than Playboy representative Lauren Melone says that while she’s not denying they are interested in Heidi’s fake boobies they wouldn’t pay 1 million for photos. Me neither Playboy, me neither. s320x240.jpg If you ask me her nose looked better before? This is coming from the girl who’s not a fan of plastic surgery…maybe it does look better now and I’m just being anti?

The third season of The Hills is supposed to premiere this summer, but after the fallout with LC who knows if Heidi will be a part.

Yeahh

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

I am kind of hopelessly in love with Rob Dyrdek, Big Black and Meaty…kind of iffy about the mini horse but my fiannce says they are very playful, and last longer than regular horses. Last nights episode was really hilarious because the duo tried to travel back in time. Rob has a time machine that he bought from some nut job and after 22 minutes (commercials including) of watching them try to go back to 1972 it was apparent the thing was a piece of junk. fb09_1.jpg The boys even went to Canada to meet a fellow time traveler who lives in the basement of the housing projects…I guess T.T’s don’t really do all that well.

When they got back Big surprised Rob with an airbrushed mini-horse trailer…the art was stunning. Topless Rob and Big, Meaty, and a unicorn. I’m kind of pissed my DVR cut off though, and I missed next weeks previews :( Someone fill me in?

Oh joy! Jackass the video game is in the works for PSP, PS2, and Nintendo DS this fall. A mission/action adventure video game will give you 35 different scenarios with digital incarnations of Steve-O, Johnny Knoxville, and everyone else EXCEPT word is Bam didn’t make it…why they left the cutest one out, I don’t know..and wouldn’t it be funny to have a video game character running around in a golden thing? Maybe. Scenarios for the video game include: breaking things, running things over with shopping carts, and being a digital menace. 13 year old boys are going to love this one!

Dear MTV viewers

Friday, May 25th, 2007

I am pregnant, I am hot, I am sweaty, I have no air conditioning yet and I don’t really care (at this point, today) about MTV or gossip or really lame MTV reality shows (except Rob and Big..oh and Runs House) and I want to kill people. I probably shouldn’t write that..I don’t really want to, but I do want to kill um, ice pops. Like 1,000 of them.

I don’t have anything good to report except that I am sweating and Jessica Simpson apparently followed Leonardo DiCaprio around like a puppy at some party in Cannes. jess_blog_10.jpgIf Jessica Simpson were a puppy I think she would be a Daschund

I don’t know why I’m obsessed with washed out MTV shows but I am.
